Journalism and sexism in the games industry

LOL. Nice to know that I've damaged gaming by boycotting corrupt sites and writing e-mails to Gawker advertisers(the same Gawker that helps spread celebrity nudes and stolen screenplays). I should've called 10,000+ people harassers without proof, smeared the gaming community, and just dealt with the rampant collusion and corruption instead.- 641 replies

Can someone please point out where anyone this fellow has been harassing someone? Or is it one of those things where they believe they are guilty of harassment so it must be true? In any case, the reaction these people have to anyone who doesn't tow the party line is quite telling.- 641 replies

Tbh, the source material isn't that great either. I have given the comic a whirl and I was not hooked, but I guess it's down to different people different taste. Have you tried the Garth Ennis issues? IMO those are some of the best. Included the best panel of the series as well. If only this would've been picked up by HBO instead of True Blood or The Leftovers.

No, the burden of proof lies with the prosecution. The suspects may not have proof they are not guilty, but the responsibility to prove that they are guilty lies with the prosecution. This is the way it should be, as convicting someone for not being able to prove a negative is not a very good standard for a legal system. It would certainly suck of someone was convicted because they stayed home alone and didn't have an alibi for a murder that occurred close to them or involved someone they were in conflict with. To get back to this rape law: you're a father I believe? If one of your kids were accused of rape by someone they had casual sex with and could not prove that it was consensual and the accuser could not prove that it wasn't consensual, why should they bear the burden of proof for a baseless accusation? Shouldn't the accuser be required to bring at least some proof of rape before making accusations? But this isn't a baseless accusation, this is a woman (or man) going into a police station, going through the interview process, submitting to tests, etc. It's an incredibly difficult thing to go through for a victim, hence they high rate of unreported assaults. As for my own children, I hope to raise them with the beliefs that casual sex is inherently dangerous. I want them to take precautions. Do you have unprotected casual sex? Probably not, that would be crazy. Well, making sure that the sex is consensual should be right there alongside wearing protection. It's better to be safe. Baseless as in "without foundation in fact". Which an accusation without proof is. The problem with this is that between two people who can not prove a positive or a negative, you are putting the burden on the one who stands to face legal consequences. As awful as rape is, instituting a system where it is possible to convict someone without evidence is not a good solution. As to casual sex and your children, no matter how you raise them you can not control their actions 100% of the time. People do dumb **** when they are in college, heat of the moment kind of stuff. In an atmosphere where consensual hook ups involving drugs and booze exist right beside some filth taking advantage of intoxicated people, a system that places burden on the accused creates the possibility of someone being accused of something they didn't do and unable to refute the accusations. As to myself, I have had sex with people I didn't know very well. A lot of them were ****ing crazy, for lack of a better term, but I don't believe I should be subjected to charges of rape for going after crazy ****. I would certainly not want to be put into a situation where I had to prove a girl that jumped on me at a party gave consent when all I had was my word against hers or a girl claiming I raped her because she cheated on her boyfriend with me and didn't want to break up with him(minus the rape accusation, the later has happened to me).- 641 replies

If two people casually hook up what protections are in place to protect against false allegations if no proof beyond an anecdotal confirmation of consent exists? Perhaps college students in California keep much more detailed notes on such matters than my peers, but in my personal experience consent is given orally the vast majority of the time, and that isn't something that is easy to prove.- 641 replies

Reading the text of the law, intoxication needs to be to the point of incapacitation. Not sure how being really drunk, but still conscious will be handled but I assume we will see soon enough. Something I find troubling is proof of informed consent. With my ex I would often try to start sex in the morning or after a shower without talking first. If she didn't want to, she would hit me or tell me to **** off, but there were times we had sex without verbally agreeing. Not sure how it would hold up I'm court, but I could see someone who had a sexual encounter like this find themselves in legal trouble if the partner decided to raise issue.- 641 replies

""Yes means yes" is the first law in a US state to make the language of affirmative consent a central principle of school sexual assault policies. The rule defines consent as "an affirmative, conscious and voluntary agreement to engage in sexual activity." Lawmakers say, however, that consent can be non-verbal, if it is unambiguous. The aim is to improve the way that campuses deal with accusations of sexual assault, and to challenge the notion that victims of sexual crimes need to have resisted assault in order to have valid complaints. The legislation also says that silence or a lack of resistance do not constitute consent. Under the bill, someone who is drunk, drugged, unconscious or asleep cannot grant consent." Someone who is drunk can not give consent? I suppose that means the few times I had sex with my ex while drunk I was being raped then.- 641 replies

What is a sexual act? For example in India a kiss can be considered a sexual act. Is undressing a girl with my eyes and staring creepily a sexual act? Yes ****lord.
